Show Synopsis CHARACTERS (in order of appearance) The final collaboration between Rodgers & Maria Rainer - a Postulant at Nonnberg Abbey Hammerstein was destined to become the world's Sister Berthe - Mistress of Novices most beloved musical. When a postulant proves Sister Margaretta - Mistress of Postulants Sister Sophia too high-spirited for the religious life, she is The Mother Abbess - Head of the Abbey Nuns dispatched to serve as governess for the seven Captain Georg von Trapp - renowned navy officer children of a widowed naval Captain. Her Franz - the butler growing rapport with the youngsters, coupled Frau Schmidt - the housekeeper with her generosity of spirit, gradually captures The Children of Captain von Trapp: the heart of the stern Captain, and they marry. Liesl von Trapp – 16 years old Upon returning from their honeymoon they Friedrich von Trapp - 14 years old Louisa von Trapp - 13 years old discover that Austria has been invaded by the Kurt von Trapp - 10 years old Nazis, who demand the Captain's immediate Brigitta von Trapp - 9 years old service in their navy. The family's narrow escape Marta von Trapp - 7 years old over the mountains to Switzerland on the eve of Gretl von Trapp - the youngest World War II provides one of the most thrilling Rolf Gruber - a 17-year-old telegram delivery boy and inspirational finales ever presented in the Max Detweiler - a friend of Captain von Trapp theatre. The motion picture version remains the The Lonely Goatherd” Ensemble: Goat, Girl In The Pale Pink Goat, Folks In The Town, Mama most popular movie musical of all time. In this Herr Zeller – a Nazi supporter adaptation for pre-high school students, the Baron Elberfeld a party guest against the Nazis content has been edited to better suit younger Party Guests attention spans, but all the elements that make A New Postulant this show a classic are still in place. You and your Admiral von Schreiber, Admiral in the Nazi Navy students will be enchanted by the timeless story German Officials Contestants in the Festival Concert: and the dazzling score, while at the same time The Trio of Saengerbund of Herwegen learning about theater and its production.
